  • Astro Boy: Edge of Time (Demo)

    —

    ,

    This has just launched as a Kickstarter campaign, and what’s really nice is that they’ve released a demo that you can check out, that gives you a try at the card gameplay (a tech test of sorts). As I just wrote, I love card games, and I love the creations of Tezuka Osamu, and so…

  • Elder Scrolls: Legends (PC Beta)

    —

    ,

    I like card games a lot (been playing them most of my life, from the first years that Magic: The Gathering showed up on the scene), and have actually been quite looking forward to release of this game. I’ve had a chance to try it out during its PC Beta, and gotta say that I’m…

  • Titanfall 2 (Tech Test)

    —

    ,

    I played a few matches in the game’s Tech Test last weekend (and it continues this coming weekend), and was excited to do so because I had never had a chance to play the first game (because I don’t have an Xbox One, and wasn’t interested in playing it on Xbox 360). My first experience…

  • Legend of the Skyfish

    —

    ,

    The last of the iOS games currently seeing heavy play on my devices is the one that I really knew nothing before launch, but saw it mentioned in articles that were talking about Deus Ex GO and Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltrati0n.ipa, and my interest was piqued. I was first attracted when I saw it getting described as…

  • Deus Ex GO

    —

    ,

    The GO series of games from Square Enix Montreal has been fantastic so far, and I’ve been anxiously waiting for the release of this latest one, based on the Deus Ex franchise (another series I quite like). It’s pretty much what you’d expect it to be like, an extension/evolution of what we saw with Lara…

  • Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltrati0n.ipa

    —

    ,

    I wrote the other day how I was getting excited about playing a few iOS games, and this is another one of them. I really loved the first season of Mr. Robot – and am currently waiting for season 2 to finish before watching it – and when I saw that there was a new…

  • Reigns

    —

    ,

    I haven’t been playing games on iOS of late, but finally got around to trying out Reigns last night (a game I’d been hearing raves about), and loved it. It’s such a simple idea – a binary text adventure game (think choose-your-own-adventure) – but presented in such a beautiful way, and with the added mechanics…

  • Picotachi Vol. 35

    —

    , ,

    The indie gaming scene in Tokyo is on the rise — the Branching Paths documentary illustrates this quite nicely — and one of the components of that growing scene is the Picotachi series. Organized by game dev Joseph White at his Pico Pico Cafe — a lovely space in Kichijoji — it’s a bilingual show-and-tell series…
